My Mistake

By Midnight Phoenix

Find something from somebody
This ecstasy will never find you
Gratefulness need not apply

Find something from nobody
We shall see this pitiful gift
Brings you through again with little joy

Starve from hunger every day
They take away what you want
Wait a little longer for your friend

Steal from innocence and never pay
Watch the way the lies continue
Never again will the mistake be made
